Why Munich Kastell?
Not an Ordinary Camp – A Castle with History
Burg Schwaneck was built in 1843 and is located in the beautiful Isar Valley, surrounded by spacious park grounds. Fully modernised while preserving its historic charm, it offers a learning environment unlike any other.
A Real Castle – Since 1843
Burg Schwaneck is not a film set. It is a real historic castle. Living and learning within castle walls, with a courtyard, park and views over the Isar Valley – an experience teenagers will never forget.
Spacious Park Right by the River
The castle grounds are located directly next to the River Isar, with a huge park, sports areas and plenty of open space. Peaceful enough for studying, exciting enough for every afternoon.
Munich in Just 15 Minutes
The castle is located right next to the suburban train (S-Bahn). In just 15 minutes, students can reach the heart of Munich. Marienplatz, the English Garden and the Bavaria Film Studios are all within easy reach.
Coming together, listening and taking part. The group activities at the Munich Castle Summer Camp are the moments when strangers become friends and German suddenly no longer feels like a foreign language.

Good to Know:
The programme changes weekly and may be adjusted depending on the group, weather and availability. All activities are fully supervised – your child is never on their own.
Small groups. Experienced teachers. Historic walls that have heard many things over the years, but never so many languages at once. The German course at the Munich Castle works because it is different.
